Mutational screening of Greek patients with axonal Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth disease using targeted next‐generation sequencing: Clinical and molecular spectrum delineation

Zoi Kontogeorgiou,

et al.

Abstract: Background and aimsAxonal forms of Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT) are classified as CMT2, distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN) or hereditary sensory neuropathy (HSN) and can be caused by mutations in over 100 genes. We presently aimed to investigate for the first time the genetic landscape of axonal CMT in the Greek population.MethodsSixty index patients with CMT2, dHMN or HSN were screened by a combination of Sanger sequencing (GJB1) and an NGS custom‐made gene panel covering 24 commonly mutated genes… Show more

“…The most common genes involved included GJB1 (11.7%), MPZ (5%), and MFN2 (5%), followed by DNM2 (3.3%) and LRSAM1 (3.3%). Single cases with mutations in BSCL2, HSPB1, and GDAP1 were also identified (16). The research implies that the use of new techniques will notably advance the understanding of genes and mutations associated with this disease while also impacting the cost of diagnosis.…”
